If you are talking about the NRD-545. I've used this rig. It is over
priced BIG TIME. Sure, it is a nice looking radio and it is built
rock solid. I also found it to be tinny sounding. I'd go so far as
to say the audio quality sux !!! I had to use it through my PC
speakers and work my software mixer to get it to sound tolerable for
program listening. What does that radio sell for ??? $1,800.00 ??? I'd
rather use my R-75 for program listening over the NRD-545 because
the 545 sounds so tinny and hollow.
If you want to spend more money and get a more capable rig then the
R-75 , the NRD-545 is NOT the answer. I'd say go with the Icom 746
pro. Less money then the NRD-545 at $1,500 and more capable.

Nope. I was talking about the NRD-535Db. It cost me $900 new in the box.
